Around 8pm Saturday it became known that UK in '95 had won. In that contingency, it was already decided that a Nasfic election would be scheduled to be held the next day. To be on the official ballot, bids must file and the filing deadline was set for 12:30 pm (about two hours after the ratification that UK in '95 had won) with balloting starting at 2pm and closing at 10pm.

The second issue is that the Site Selection Administrator allowed a hoax bid with no real facilities to file and appear on the ballot. The I95 in 95bid was a hoax bid which had been running parties for a bid purported to be planned to be held along Interstate 95, which runs north and south along the East Coast. The WSFS Constitution requires that to file bidders must, among other things, supply "adequate evidence of an agreement with its proposed site's facilities, such as a conditional contract or a letter of agreement" and the Site Selection Administrator chose to allow a fax saying that the hoax bid had some hotel rooms at the Columbia, MD, Hilton.
